Building system
SIP panel
Structural Insulated Panel: two structural boards with an insulating core between them, manufactured off-site and assembled dry.
Composition
Three layers, one piece
Structural board
The outer face of the panel. It provides stiffness and serves as the base for the finish.
Insulating core
The insulation sits between the boards and is part of the panel: it is not a layer added on site.
Structural board
The inner face. Together with the outer face, both work as one with the core.
What it offers
Industrialized construction
The panel arrives manufactured and cut to size, which moves much of the work that used to happen on site into the shop.
Lightweight and dry-assembled
Fewer wet processes on site and a building envelope that closes in fewer steps than conventional construction.
Integrated insulation
The insulating core is part of the panel, not a layer added later.
On site
How it goes up
A project in Chile, from storage at the plant to closing in the envelope. On site it is assembled; the panel arrives already made.

Strategic partners
Construction doesn’t wait for materials
Venergia builds with a factory behind it on both sides of the Andes: Trupanel in Chile and Arvorá Modular in Brazil. Panels are bought from the people who make them, and that is what keeps a construction schedule on track.
Panel characteristics as stated by each manufacturer.
Trupanel
Structural insulated panel factory · Camino a Quilapilún, Colina, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile
Direct supply
Panels are bought from the factory, with no intermediaries between the people who make them and the people who install them.
Priority on lead times
The agreement guarantees preference on delivery dates, which is what keeps a construction schedule on track.
Continuity of supply
Material secured throughout construction, without the stoppages that drive up the cost of a project.
Arvorá Modular
ARV-SIP system factory · Avenida Nelson Araujo 368, Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil
arvoramodular.com.brMineral-faced panel
An EPS, PIR, PUR or XPS insulating core between autoclaved cement boards that are water-repellent and fire-resistant.
Made to order for each project
Panels up to 3.00 × 1.20 m, cut to size, with electrical and plumbing conduits embedded at the factory.
Dry assembly
It arrives sized and is assembled without mortar. It supports two stories without additional structure and, depending on the site, a simple slab-on-grade foundation.
